Taiwan's Mango and Guava Pass EU Review, Minister Lin Chia-lung Announces European Market Expansion

Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung stated tonight that Taiwan has recently agreed to allow the import of fresh blueberries from Poland, pending the completion of final administrative procedures. Additionally, Taiwan's mango and guava have recently passed the EU review, marking their official entry into the European market! The government is actively promoting the "Central and Eastern European Semiconductor Supply Chain Resilience Plan," expecting mutual benefits by building a non-red supply chain with Poland.
During a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lin met with three members of the Polish Sejm, who are part of the "Poland-Taiwan Parliamentary Group," which has long supported Taiwan and contributed to the cooperation between Taiwan and Poland. He conveyed good news to the three MPs, announcing that the country has agreed to allow imports of fresh blueberries from Poland, awaiting only final administrative procedures, and highlighted that the mango and guava have passed the EU review.
Lin mentioned that Poland is an important member of the EU and a rising market. Last year, he led an industry delegation to visit Poland and witnessed its economic growth potential. With the rapid development of the global semiconductor industry, a "European Chip Triangle" formed by Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic is gradually taking shape.
Recently, Poland launched an "Economic Diplomacy Plan," designating Taiwan alongside Japan and Canada as key markets for expansion. Lin emphasized that Poland is a crucial gateway for Taiwan into Eastern Europe, and both sides should continue to cooperate through economic and trade collaborations to enhance exchanges in education, technology, and culture.
He highlighted that Taiwan possesses advanced semiconductor and AI server manufacturing capabilities, while Poland boasts a strong talent pool and educational standards, laying the foundation for the development of the chip industry. Therefore, the government is actively promoting the "Central and Eastern European Semiconductor Supply Chain Resilience Plan" to collaboratively create a mutually beneficial non-red supply chain.
Lin pointed out that Taiwan and Poland share similar historical experiences and are on the front lines against the expansion of authoritarianism. Both sides deeply understand the difficulty of achieving democracy and need allied partners to unite and protect it, while creating sustainable prosperity for both nations based on shared values.
